Dataview Gets Int, Display Value From Another Table?

I have a form which is primarily pulled from Table1. Table1.fieldA is an integer representing a project phase. In the current Access display the form displays not the integer, but a String stored in Table2 that holds integer/String pairs representing all the phases.I'm trying to figure out the best way to reproduce this in my .NET formview. I could write code that would parse the int and display text, then reverse the process at save or insert, however then the code has to be updated if a new phase is added to the database. draw the String values from Table2 while preserving the binding to Table1 but I haven't figured out how.
